📋Overview
Craniosynostosis is a condition characterized by the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures in an infant's skull. This early fusion affects the shape of the head and can potentially impact brain growth. It is a well-recognized pediatric craniofacial disorder with various types depending on which sutures are involved. The modern terminology focuses on specifying the affected sutures rather than older eponyms.
